Last Trees was full 01 them and this week starts fair for a similar exhibition of elemental disturbancos. Yesterday evening we were visited by fearful tornado. A singular phenomenon was observed in tbe south east. A black cloud bellying down like a bag let drop from the tower end, a long tongue like a spout, which whirled and sway ed exactly as the descriptions say water spout d jes. It passed about a mile and a half south of the centre of the city, or just beyond &he outskirts, dealing destruction in itsco'irse All round iu the vicinity rail were blown about like feathers Urge tiees twisted round mat broken off, and hnces blown down. In few mutes it began to hail, and such hail atones toroo very rarely been seen in this region. All very large, and many of them fully -as large as hens' eggs! Luckily they fell very sparsely, or we eheatd have had few window lights and little fraft left. : The track of the tornado was hat apparently but three or four hundred tot fa widh. nd within ft the destruction has bo doubt been very great.

A private letter from London, to a gan. leman in Albany, stales that 8ayers, in a confidential conversation with a friend, admit ted that Heenan waa too heavy and tno strong for him, and expressed satisfaction Ifutt he hnd com out of the ring alive. The writer aMs 'it is tbe serious belief of many who saw the fight, that bad not the blow by which Sayer's arm was terribly injured.heen warded by him, but fallen full on his head, it would have put a fatal end to the fight." We understand that a young married lady in tideway, in this State, a few dayt ago presented her husband with two sons snd a daughter the first start toward raising a family.

The entire distance thus traversed is up ward of 100 miles, and that through a popu lous and fertile farming region, dotted with thriving towns, some of which as we have be low to record, fell iu the path of tbe destroy er. To trace trie entire route, and set forth in detail the devastation1 that marks this march of the f arful messenger of ill, the catalogue of lives lost, of homes laid waste, would nil a volume. The tornado srem to have hacf its origin in Linn county, ah jut 60 miles west of the Mis- issippi river, about nightfall, its7 ravage! be ing as far as heard from, in the vicinity of Cedar Rapids. Thence it passed in a direction a little northeast, several times crowing the line of the Chicago, Iowa and Nehraskn Railroad. At Lisbnn station. sixty four miles west of Clinton, the depot structures were emolished, and a train of ten freight cars standing on the track, were lifted bodily from their tracks and dashed to pieces. Some of them were loaded -with grain, which was scattered broadcast for roJs. One waslnaded with lumber, which was carried and dtapeY&d many yards distant.

The tearful marks of the progress Of the tornado are traced to the heart 'ol Lee county, with loss of H eal CtirJen Plain, Cotrio, and other points. Near tbe Utter place a farm bouse was torn to peiced And three Children killed. Some ol the Furniture, was carried to a distance ol three mild. A gentleman who was a passenger north ward on the Illinois Cvatral Railroad, count, ed seventeen buildings destroyed on tbe line where tl.t tornado cruaed the road.

A BVeoman sold into Slavery while his Kidnappers g3 free. One of those disgraceful deeds that characterize the Imrbarl.ra of slavery has just been pnrpelrated beneath the regis of Kentucky Justice.

Niono appeared against the kidnappers, for the facts had not become known to W iggo'ier' trienils. and so the kidnappers were released and Waggoner was advertised to be sold as a slavj for tbe Jail fees. Meanwhile Waggoner's friends on the Ohio side ascertained how matters were, and stirrtd themselves; Mo i lay last wa ihedoy appointed for the sale, Wagminer on a wiit of habias corpus, iys tli.it mOrn,jhg brought before tht mayor of Nowport, The Cincinnati Commercial, says : It was proved that Waggouer will born in Ohio, ol free parents, and tbat he bad never been in Virginia. John snd Uliza Whiteman apd Mary Miller testified" that they all knew Peter Waggoner, the father of James, since 1R52, and tbat both resided in Ohio since that time. The afU lavit of Joseph Thomas, lumber deaior, of Cincinnati, stated that James had worked for that person last Summer ; that during that time, Petjr came to visit James, and that they recognized each other as father snd soil. The affidavit of Peter was introd jced. but could riot lie admitted , in evidence according to the laws of Kentucky, but it. showed that he had been set free by tbn will of his master, for whom he was named, in 1828 ; chat he then, or soon alter, left Wythe county Va-and sailed in Ohio in 1831. and soon after' that time James was born in B'rown county' that S ate. The evidence on the other side did. not disprove these facta ; it consisted of the state ments of two persons recently srrived from Virginia in pursuit of a fugitive fiom Slavery that they knew Peter Waggoner, th e ftnme owner of Junes father, and that ho had been set free by that person's will in 1828; that the will had been annulled in 1853, twenty-five years afterwards. No record, however, of this was produced in Court. O ie of the parties also stated that he thought that James :esemblcd a negro he knew to have fill Iroin Jacob Waggoner, of Virginia, obout five years ago, but could not identify the lri8opcr. A letter was read from thealiedged owner aforesaid, vihich contained this very graphic description el bis lost chattel.: "lit is tal slim mail and lias a grate k wan. tity uv wite in his ize, and a do'iukast look.

The Louisville Democrat, Douglas, pro nounces the nt ruination of Linco'n at Chicago the strongest his party could havo made, and says, "we have regarded L uc'oln since 1858, as their available man, Douglas has not met as nearly his match in debate, whether iu argument or lact, as be did when he met Abraham Lincoln iii d abate in his own State. It is plain thai rhis ticket is not io be asily beaten, and it is idlo to' undervalue its' strength." Tbe Lous tille Couritr. which is a Guthrie paper, does not see in Mr Lincoln's nomination an argu. inent in f-vor of taking Douglas at the Baltimore, but declares tbat "his nomination by the Baltimore 0 nvention eoiild only result in the defeat of his party."

No Time for Compromise, ' The Fiohmond Inquirer states thus faiilf the ground of tbe difference bet ween the we sections oT the democracy!' . , A Ittllt mors, than twelve months ago, the faot was Itilly derelepod, that a large portion. of thenoilben democracy btd accepted, ani and were readytb insist upon an interpretation of tbe bincinnati platform altogether" at yarij ance with the interpretation understood and,. tcted upon by the aouthrrn doinoerjuiy. Thus a dlreot eonuict of opinion was produced. On the one band, it was insisted . iht the Cincinnati platform recognised the uneootroll. d power of each territorial, legislature to establish or abolish the right of property is( -lav s in the respective territories of thi Union. vi On the other band, it wu intiste thal '.f J.u,t intorpretatioa of tht platform on tlus point recognise the right of slave property in ihe territories asn existing rightguer. anteea by tbe Constitution.and tbat the pow er which Congress, could exorcise, either im.- mediately or through its delegates, tbe teril-tirial legislative, assemblies, waa the do war coupled with the duty to protect suck exist ing tights of persons sod property. Haying thus stated the issue that districts the Pemocracy.the Enquirer proceeds to rem ment upon the abortive attempts ihatbave been made, and are being made, to reoorcila the difference: Here, as in every similar instance of differ ence, n- any political Isadora and presses wore ready with suggestions of; compromise. We tnougnt men, wnat we know now4 tbat tbls was a case in which both principle and policy precluded all nijddle, ground of compromise.! Indue.., we saw but one possible ground e compromise ha( which suggested tbe re-en- actment oi, tne uncinnati platwrm without any reference wha.:evor to the point ol disputcd interpretation. Such a , compromiss as this, we were utterly unwilling to adipt. We foret-aw that its adoption would result in' nothing less than the deiLca iration of the party through the perpetration of t double deception, Vi foresaw, too, even were suchi deception's possible it could pcly be made practicable through' the nomination for tht Presidency of some man cither too tijiid oi too dishonest to avow his opinions on the point at issue, Aliogetiw, un reeogm'ttd tht policy of comprnmUe at too equivocaltobe homtC, too timid to be prudent, too telfUh to be safe. Here is a full, explicit, positive oonfirmatida of all that tht Republicans have charged la relation to tbe Cincinnati platform that it was'a double dooeptipn,'uneqiijyocal,disbones snd base. But aside from the importance of such tn admission, by so high a democratic! authority, it demonstrates the impossibility of a compromise upon any ather basis ex cept, an open surrender of the Northern to tbe Southern democracy.

Last Trees was full 01 them and this week starts fair for a similar exhibition of elemental disturbancos. Yesterday evening we were visited by fearful tornado. A singular phenomenon was observed in tbe south east. A black cloud bellying down like a bag let drop from the tower end, a long tongue like a spout, which whirled and sway ed exactly as the descriptions say water spout d jes. It passed about a mile and a half south of the centre of the city, or just beyond &he outskirts, dealing destruction in itsco'irse All round iu the vicinity rail were blown about like feathers Urge tiees twisted round mat broken off, and hnces blown down. In few mutes it began to hail, and such hail atones toroo very rarely been seen in this region. All very large, and many of them fully -as large as hens' eggs! Luckily they fell very sparsely, or we eheatd have had few window lights and little fraft left. : The track of the tornado was hat apparently but three or four hundred tot fa widh. nd within ft the destruction has bo doubt been very great.

The entire distance thus traversed is up ward of 100 miles, and that through a popu lous and fertile farming region, dotted with thriving towns, some of which as we have be low to record, fell iu the path of tbe destroy er. To trace trie entire route, and set forth in detail the devastation1 that marks this march of the f arful messenger of ill, the catalogue of lives lost, of homes laid waste, would nil a volume. The tornado srem to have hacf its origin in Linn county, ah jut 60 miles west of the Mis- issippi river, about nightfall, its7 ravage! be ing as far as heard from, in the vicinity of Cedar Rapids. Thence it passed in a direction a little northeast, several times crowing the line of the Chicago, Iowa and Nehraskn Railroad. At Lisbnn station. sixty four miles west of Clinton, the depot structures were emolished, and a train of ten freight cars standing on the track, were lifted bodily from their tracks and dashed to pieces. Some of them were loaded -with grain, which was scattered broadcast for roJs. One waslnaded with lumber, which was carried and dtapeY&d many yards distant.

John snd Uliza Whiteman apd Mary Miller testified" that they all knew Peter Waggoner, the father of James, since 1R52, and tbat both resided in Ohio since that time. The afU lavit of Joseph Thomas, lumber deaior, of Cincinnati, stated that James had worked for that person last Summer ; that during that time, Petjr came to visit James, and that they recognized each other as father snd soil. The affidavit of Peter was introd jced. but could riot lie admitted , in evidence according to the laws of Kentucky, but it. showed that he had been set free by tbn will of his master, for whom he was named, in 1828 ; chat he then, or soon alter, left Wythe county Va-and sailed in Ohio in 1831. and soon after' that time James was born in B'rown county' that S ate. The evidence on the other side did. not disprove these facta ; it consisted of the state ments of two persons recently srrived from Virginia in pursuit of a fugitive fiom Slavery that they knew Peter Waggoner, th e ftnme owner of Junes father, and that ho had been set free by that person's will in 1828; that the will had been annulled in 1853, twenty-five years afterwards. No record, however, of this was produced in Court. O ie of the parties also stated that he thought that James :esemblcd a negro he knew to have fill Iroin Jacob Waggoner, of Virginia, obout five years ago, but could not identify the lri8opcr.

It is plain thai rhis ticket is not io be asily beaten, and it is idlo to' undervalue its' strength."

No Time for Compromise, ' The Fiohmond Inquirer states thus faiilf the ground of tbe difference bet ween the we sections oT the democracy!' . , A Ittllt mors, than twelve months ago, the faot was Itilly derelepod, that a large portion. of thenoilben democracy btd accepted, ani and were readytb insist upon an interpretation of tbe bincinnati platform altogether" at yarij ance with the interpretation understood and,. tcted upon by the aouthrrn doinoerjuiy. Thus a dlreot eonuict of opinion was produced. On the one band, it was insisted . iht the Cincinnati platform recognised the uneootroll. d power of each territorial, legislature to establish or abolish the right of property is( -lav s in the respective territories of thi Union. vi On the other band, it wu intiste thal '.f J.u,t intorpretatioa of tht platform on tlus point recognise the right of slave property in ihe territories asn existing rightguer. anteea by tbe Constitution.and tbat the pow er which Congress, could exorcise, either im.- mediately or through its delegates, tbe teril-tirial legislative, assemblies, waa the do war coupled with the duty to protect suck exist ing tights of persons sod property. Haying thus stated the issue that districts the Pemocracy.the Enquirer proceeds to rem ment upon the abortive attempts ihatbave been made, and are being made, to reoorcila the difference: Here, as in every similar instance of differ ence, n- any political Isadora and presses wore ready with suggestions of; compromise. We tnougnt men, wnat we know now4 tbat tbls was a case in which both principle and policy precluded all nijddle, ground of compromise.! Indue.., we saw but one possible ground e compromise ha( which suggested tbe re-en- actment oi, tne uncinnati platwrm without any reference wha.:evor to the point ol disputcd interpretation. Such a , compromiss as this, we were utterly unwilling to adipt. We foret-aw that its adoption would result in' nothing less than the deiLca iration of the party through the perpetration of t double deception, Vi foresaw, too, even were suchi deception's possible it could pcly be made practicable through' the nomination for tht Presidency of some man cither too tijiid oi too dishonest to avow his opinions on the point at issue, Aliogetiw, un reeogm'ttd tht policy of comprnmUe at too equivocaltobe homtC, too timid to be prudent, too telfUh to be safe. Here is a full, explicit, positive oonfirmatida of all that tht Republicans have charged la relation to tbe Cincinnati platform that it was'a double dooeptipn,'uneqiijyocal,disbones snd base. But aside from the importance of such tn admission, by so high a democratic! authority, it demonstrates the impossibility of a compromise upon any ather basis ex cept, an open surrender of the Northern to tbe Southern democracy. Nearly all the indications we have from the slave States are of the, same character, foreshadowing a widening of the breech in the Baltimore. Convention, or a' total caving-in of the free. States. .
